The variations of the hues of anodizing is there to make them different for future collectors. There is nothing more boring than collecting exactly, identical looking items. I am only providing a service here! If you found a perfect one, I have failed. This means I have no more levels of perfection to achieve. Jeff should have charged you $100 for that one. Absolute perfection has only been achieved in one Softrelease. It is anodized deep purple and sits on one of my black M2’s with a matching deep purple Rapidwinder. Funny write up! I enjoyed it and K&S profited from it too! Softly, Tom A
